Join analytical chemist Dr. M. Farooq Wahab from the University of Texas at Arlington as he breaks down the science behind chromatographic peak shapes in this episode of the Concentrating on Chromatography podcast. Perfect for undergraduate chemists and researchers alike, this conversation covers:- What makes an ideal chromatographic peak shape and why it matters - Common reasons your HPLC peaks might show tailing, fronting, or distortion - Practical tips for diagnosing and troubleshooting peak shape problems - How to use visual and digital tools (like Excel) to analyze your chromatogram data beyond basic numbers - The importance of baseline correction, denoising, and signal processing in chromatography - Advice for students and early researchers aiming to excel in analytical chemistryDr. Wahab shares lively insights from his research and decades of experience, revealing the underlying physics, chemistry, and engineering behind the peaks you see—and why peaks tell the story of your chromatography.🔬 Whether new to HPLC or looking to deepen your understanding, this episode demystifies a critical topic that impacts every chromatographer.Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and ring the bell for more expert chromatography content!
